Abstract

The prevalence of hypertension, the commonest risk factor for preventable disability and premature deaths, is rapidly increasing in Africa. The African Control of Hypertension through Innovative Epidemiology, and a Vibrant Ecosystem [ACHIEVE] conference was convened to discuss and initiate the co-implementation of the strategic solutions to tame this burden toward achieving a target of 80% for awareness, treatment, and control by the year 2030. Experts, including the academia, policymakers, patients, the WHO, and representatives of various hypertension and cardiology societies generated a 12-item communique for implementation by the stakeholders of the ACHIEVE ecosystem at the continental, national, sub-national, and local (primary) healthcare levels.

ACHIEVE 会议记录：实施减少和控制非洲高血压负担的行动计划。

高血压是导致可预防残疾和过早死亡的最常见风险因素，其发病率在非洲迅速上升。召开 "通过创新流行病学和充满活力的生态系统控制非洲高血压"（ACHIEVE）会议的目的是讨论和启动战略解决方案的共同实施，以减轻这一负担，实现到 2030 年认识、治疗和控制率达到 80% 的目标。包括学术界、政策制定者、患者、世卫组织在内的专家以及各高血压和心脏病学会的代表共同发表了一份包含 12 个项目的公报，供 ACHIEVE 生态系统的利益相关方在大陆、国家、国家以下和地方（初级）医疗保健层面实施。

期刊介绍： Journal of Human Hypertension is published monthly and is of interest to health care professionals who deal with hypertension (specialists, internists, primary care physicians) and public health workers. We believe that our patients benefit from robust scientific data that are based on well conducted clinical trials. We also believe that basic sciences are the foundations on which we build our knowledge of clinical conditions and their management. Towards this end, although we are primarily a clinical based journal, we also welcome suitable basic sciences studies that promote our understanding of human hypertension. The journal aims to perform the dual role of increasing knowledge in the field of high blood pressure as well as improving the standard of care of patients. The editors will consider for publication all suitable papers dealing directly or indirectly with clinical aspects of hypertension, including but not limited to epidemiology, pathophysiology, therapeutics and basic sciences involving human subjects or tissues. We also consider papers from all specialties such as ophthalmology, cardiology, nephrology, obstetrics and stroke medicine that deal with the various aspects of hypertension and its complications.
